fungee's Journal

I have a presentation to give at a local library tomorrow, so I made a list of observations of things I would eat or serve to my friends, and then a list of what is acceptable to sell in many states (I believe this was initially a list made by some people in Pennsylvania but is now being used for certification courses).

Here is that list of what mostly eat when I do eat, some of which were just one-offs, but I would probably eat again. https://www.inaturalist.org/lists/4424352-Great-Edible-Fungi

Here is the list of what I would eat, in the eastern part of North America excluding Mexico. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=19,37,18,36,12,44,13,7590,6883,13336,7587,6853,9116,17,41,2,47,49,8,48,51,42,4,5,39,33,7,31,29,20,32,35,24,38,28,25,36,19,26,45,30,43,23,21,27&per_page=200&list_id=4424352

Here is the list of things that are acceptable for a certified expert to sell for consumption by the public. https://www.inaturalist.org/lists/4424360-acceptable-edible-mushrooms

Here is that list put into the explore page for the eastern part of N. A. avoiding Mexico. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=19,37,18,36,12,44,13,7590,6883,13336,7587,6853,9116,17,41,2,47,49,8,48,51,42,4,5,39,33,7,31,29,20,32,35,24,38,28,25,36,19,26,45,30,43,23,21,27&per_page=200&list_id=4424360

I tried to be mostly inclusive for species that maybe were intended to be included on the acceptable list of things to sell. It probably scooped up a couple of species that maybe shouldn't be sold, but working those out might be too difficult to bother with. I'm thinking of the excluded Cantherellus persicinus for one example.

I also made a list of fungi that were nice seafood replacements. Some of these I included on my list, some of them I didn't, for whatever reason. Here that list is: https://www.inaturalist.org/lists/4424350-Seafood-Fungi

And those which are found in Eastern North America. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=19,37,18,36,12,44,13,7590,6883,13336,7587,6853,9116,17,41,2,47,49,8,48,51,42,4,5,39,33,7,31,29,20,32,35,24,38,28,25,36,19,26,45,30,43,23,21,27&per_page=200&list_id=4424350

Just to balance things, here is a list of some deadly poisonous mushrooms. It's a work in progress. I'm going to include some of the worldwide species here . https://www.inaturalist.org/lists/4424397-deadly-poisonous-mushrooms

Here they are, from around the world, not just here since some of them haven't been observed here, but might be here anyways. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&per_page=200&list_id=4424397

Just for fun, really. I'm saying this was developed rather late in the day so I'm saying it is by no means well thought out, I just wanted to make it to have something to talk about for my presentation tomorrow.

Cheers,
Garrett
